Breaking : Raf Simons to Leave Christian Dior

In a surprising move, LVMH announced that Raf Simons will be leaving Dior, ending a three and half year old extremely successful association with the iconic French fashion house.

It seems Raf took the decision for personal reasons. The designer intends to explore other interests in his life, including launching his own brand. Mr. Simon is credited for bringing in a modern interpretation to the traditional aesthetics of the historic French atelier – which is also considered to be a new era for Christian Dior in itself. The Spring Summer 2016 collection presented in a courtyard of the Louvre on October 2nd was his last show for the brand.

As expected, the fashion industry has already started speculating as to who would be the next creative director for Christina Dior? Any guesses ?
